Read in one article, that it would not start before 3:30...

What the heck that means, I don't know.Their time, eastern time, or what.

I've been trying to and can't come up with it. And I mean in a single event, I know there are streaks and the such that are pretty incredible, but in one sitting it has to be one of the craziest things I've ever seen. The 7 overtimes with Ole Miss/Arkansas football a few years back is about all I can come up with.

They played 4 sets Tuesday before it was suspended for darkness, then 118 games of the 5th set yesterday. I've got a feeling it's going to be over pretty quick today. Like maybe 15 minutes or so.

I don't see Frenchy breakingIsner's serve at this point, especially if he couldn't do it yesterday, when Isner was visibly worn out. Isner's groundstrokes went to crap yesterday afternoon - I think he comes out strong today.

Last time someone's serve was broken was 2 days ago in the 2nd set.

They've combined for 209 aces against only 31 double faults in this match. The old record for aces in a match was 78. Mahut has broken that by 23 and he's still 7 aces behind Isner.

He's got the best serve in the history of tennis, but without that he'd struggle to break into the top 100. He plays a lot of 7-6 sets.

but Isner's isn't far behind. He's #23 in the world and without that serve he'd be playing qualifyers to get into the Slams. He wins 88% of his service games vs. only 14% of his return games. I bet that's the highest spread on the tour.

I looked up the numbers for Ivo Karlovic, the 6'10", 31 year old Croatian. I saw him play Roddick on clay in 2003 - unbelievable serving both ways. Roddick won, but later said that Karlovic seemed to be "serving out of a tree." Karlovic's current stats show that he wins 91% of his service games, and only 10% of return games. I put him in that second tier also.
